Assuming that the "same year" means that the Super Bowl was played at the beginning of the year and the World Series at the end, this has happened 5 times as of 2008. 1973-Superbowl @ Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles. World Series @ Oakland and New York. 1977-Superbowl @ Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California. World Series @ New York and Los Angeles. 1988-Superbowl @ Jack Murphy Stadium, San Diego. World Series @ Los Angeles and Oakland. 1998-Superbowl @ Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego. World Series @ New York and San Diego. 2006-Superbowl @ Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan. World Series @ Detroit and St. Louis.
Deion Sanders played in Super Bowl XXX for the Dallas Cowboys and the 1992 World Series for the Atlanta Braves.
Deion Sanders appeared in the 1992 World Series with the Atlanta Braves. He also played in Super Bowl XXIX with the San Francisco 49ers and Super Bowl XXX with the Dallas Cowboys.
No one. Deion Sanders has played in both the World Series (1992 Atlanta Braves) and Super Bowl (1994, SuperBowl XXIX, San Francisco, 1995, SuperBowl XXX, Dallas Cowboys), but the Atlanta Braves lost the World Series in his only appearance.

Yes. The Steelers defeated the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII played January 21, 1979 and the Pirates defeated the Orioles in the 1979 World Series. Then the 1979 Steelers defeated the Rams in Super Bowl XIV which was played in 1980.
World series masters suck
I will answer this two ways: 1) The first city to have a team win a Super Bowl and a World Series in the same calender year was New York. The New York Jets won Super Bowl III, played January 12, 1969 and the New York Mets won the 1969 World Series. 2) The first city to have a team win a Super Bowl and World Series in each sport's respective season was Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Pirates won the 1979 World Series and the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl played for the 1979 season, that being Super Bowl XIV played on January 20, 1980. The New England Patriots and the Boston Red Soxs both won their respective championships in 2004 being the first to do so.
It was played in the state of Texas.
For the sport's 'season', that would be Pennsylvania with the Philadelphia Phillies winning the 2008 World Series and the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl XLIII, the championship for the 2008 NFL season (although the Super Bowl was played in 2009). For the same calender year, that would be Massachusetts in 2004 when the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series and the Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVIII played February 1, 2004.
Cowboys have a Super Bowl, which is for FOOTBALL. World Series is BASEBALL
There are actually 3 teams that have never made it to the World Series. They are the Seattle Mariners, the Texas Rangers, and the Washington Nationals.
"Neon" Deion Sanders is the only athlete to have played in both a Super Bowl and a World Series. He played for the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX where they routed the San Diego Chargers 49-26. Sanders also played in the 1992 World Series for the Atlanta Braves, who lost in six to the Toronto Blue Jays.
